| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota sienna van with the same problem many other sienna owners have, the passenger side rear sliding power door does not open, not by power or manually. This is an expensive repair as noted all over the internet and not considered a safety issue by toyota. Having 2 young children riding in the back seat every day, i do consider this a safety issue, not only because of possible entrapment, but because they must now discharge on the traffic side of the vehicle, not the street side. Additionally, this van has faulty welds in the driver side front door, another issue frequently documented online and for which there was a tsb. Because my van is now out of warranty, the dealer will not cover this repair even though it was purchased after the tsb was issued for this defect. I think a door falling off the car is also a safety issue. Please look into this matter further and have it corrected. Thank you. *tw |
